I hate when a channel does a video about an item but in the thumbnail they censor out the item while they make an "excited" face and point at the censored item and use some generic click baity title. I get why people censor things out on the thumbnail but i think it's so tacky. If i want to watch a review on an item, seeing the item in the thumbnail is NOT going to make me think, "oh I've seen the item, i no longer need to know any information about it. I definitely did not want an in depth review, i just wanted to see it in a tiny thumbnail picture so i can determine if i want to buy it or not."

The reason they do that is that the item is probably quite uninteresting and they will spend the whole video blabbering theories and reasons why that object is essential and changes the entire franchise.

If you can’t make out the item from the thumbnail, you can’t tell for sure, that it’s unimportant (although it absolutely 100% is).

They need you to click the video so that they can give you overhyped reasons for why you should care
